“After the release of my album, one response that always stood out was, ‘I wish I’d seen this growing up. My life would’ve been different.’” Mga kababayan ko, when the nanay of Fil-Am singer @rubyibarra left Tacloban in 1991 to migrate to #California, she had only one album in her suitcase: #FrancisMagalona’s Yo. Nearly 30 years later, her daughter is also singing about cultural identity and bolstering the pride of the Filipino community in the States. This #WednesdayWisdom, read our interview with Ruby Ibarra. Link in bio.
You can take the Pinoy out of the Philippines, but you can’t take basketball out of the Pinoy.

No one knows the meaning of slowdown more than this 5mm Masungi microsnail. Though it’s probably been around for years, its discovery was announced only recently by a group of UP Los Baños scientists. Now you can attempt to look for this tiny gastropod at @masungigeoreserve which finally reopened to the public yesterday. Link to the story in our bio. 📸 Masungi Georeseve Foundation
“Thousands of miles outside of her comfort zone, my mother has been forced to let me lead… In short, I become the grownup – and she, far from home, the dependent child. Travel has enacted a role reversal that has seen the old autocracy replaced with a more democratic order.” @thisispipusher writes a heartwarming essay about how traveling together changed her relationship with her alpha mother.
